An Associated Press telegram from Wash

terminated and the captured flags of the dead
Confederacy will remain in the custody OF the
War Department President Cleveland on
Thursday sent the following letter in regard
to the matter to the Secretary of War:
Il have to-day considered with more care
than when the subject was orally presented
me, the action of your department directing
letters TO be addressed TO the Governors of all
the States Offering to return IL desired to the
loyal States, the Union flags captured during
the war Of the rebellion by the Confederate
forces and afterward recovered by Gov
eminent troops; and to the Confederate
States the flags captured by the Union
forces all OF which for many years have been
packed in boxes and stored in the cell
lar and attic OF the War Department. 1 am Of
the opinion that the return OF the flags in the
manner thus contemplated is not authorized
by existing law, nor j.stifed executive
act. request, therefore. that no further steps
be taken in the matter except TO examine and
inventory these tiags, and adopt proper meas
ures for their preservation ANY direction as
to the final disposition Of them should originate
with Congress. GROVER CLEVELAND.
AT the request OF Gov Foraker, of Ohio,
that counsel should be retained 10 institute
legal proceedings to enjoin the return of the
Confederate flags to the Governors OF the
Southern States, Gen H. V. Boynton had Sc
lected Hon. Samuel Shellabarger, OF Ohio,
and Hon. George s Boutwell,, Of Massachu-
sets, to take charge of the case. These gen.
tlemen expected to have an application for q
mandamus filed in the Supreme Court of
the district Thursday afternoon, but
were deferred by the non-receipt OF a nee
essary telegram from Ohio The papers were
based upon the claim that the Secretary of
War was about TO dispose of public property
without authority OF law The letter of the
President made further action by the attor-
neys unnecessary" The protests of the
Governors Of Ohio and Iowa and the public v
expressed indignation Of the Grand Army of
the Republic over the proposition to re-
turn the flags bad the effect to
stir up much feeling throughout the
country. Governor Rusk, of Wisconsin, tele-
graphed his protest TO President Cleveland,
claiming that the trophies, il surrendered,
should be given up TO the States by whose
troops they wers captured Governor Mar

ing that the scheme was IAN insult 10

size of all Great Britain and Ireland, and

stretches from Cape Agulhas, in "a degrees

when the question was proposed 10 the

BOODLERS CONVICTED.

McGarigle and Mcdonald Found Guilty
at Chicago, and Sentenced to Three
Years Each.
A CHICAGO dispatch of Monday says: Will
lam j. McGarigle, ex-Chief of Police and
present Warden of the County Hospital, and
Edward Mcdonald, engineer at the County
Hospital, spent Sunday behind the bars of the
county Jail as the result of the long ~boodle"
trial, in which the jury found both of them
guilty and sentenced each TO three years inn
prisonment at Joliet The trial lasted seven
weeks When court met Saturday Judge
Shepard delivered the courts charge to
the jury and the twelve men retired
TO the grand jury room TO agree
upon a verdict The jurors were unit
in their belief of the guilt of the two Macs,
but were about equally divided as to making
the term of punishment one, two, or three
years. The maximum penalty Of the law is
three years imprisonment or 81, OC fine, but
money punishment never entered INTO the de-
alterations of the jury, and verdict was
soon reached giving both the extreme
penalty of the law. Judge Shepard was
recalled to the courtroom at 3 o'clock
by the jury's bailiff, and few moments
later the jurors stalked solemnly in. Fore
man Fitzpatrick handed to the clerk folded
slip of paper, which, on instructions from the
Court, was opened and read, as follows: ave,
the jury, find the defendants guilty of con-
spiracy to obtain money by false pretenses, in
the manner and form as charged in the
indictment, aud fix the penalty at three
years in the penitentiaTy." McGlrigle
turned CHASTITY white, and great drops of
cold sweat stood out on his face as he
blankly stared at the carpet, seemingly
stunned by the shock Ed Mcdonald affected
TO coolly read paper, but Tho dep red Of
his flushed face and the nervous twitching of
his hands betrayed the nervousness he tried
so hard to hide. Mike Mcdonald was winter
even than McGarigle and too much estouuded
TO say word. The jury was polled each
man affirming his words, and then they were
dismissed by the Judge, with few words Of
thanks for their patience Counsel
for the defense entered the usual
motion for new trial There
is universal rejoicing in Chicago at the out
come of the trial At the base bali grounds,
where the Detroit and Chicago clubs were
contesting game in the presence of 10000

she had advanced her face, rosy with
